Also note the chrome(nickel?)-plated, sloping fork-crown!!
Great picture!!

P.S. The chainwheels might look like this-
,
although that might be a later development?

Have they been taking horse tranquilizers or why are the veins standing out in their arms like that?

Thanks, Carol. They look as if they mean business. I have doubts as to whether it's the same Tyler Challenge Cup, but Freeman's Aug 27 1895 describes a splendid specimen of the silversmith's art donated by Tyler & Son "the world-famed boot people"

Snazzy suit on the man at left.

Other red herrings: a Tyler Cup for GAA in Wexford, another Tyler Cup for something horsey again in Wexford, and another horsey Tyler Cup but in Armagh. All 1890s.

They are wonderful B&W and composition.

The way those two guys are sitting on the chairs can only be described as "Rebellious".

I'd bet the fella in the middle at the back is related to the man seated on the right

ccferrie Do you think?

If these guys won a Maiden Fours trophy then they were not a Senior four as listed. It was possible to row above your grade at that time in the more provincial regattas, if there was no entry for the senior levels then a crew could go "pot-hunting" and gather a senior trophy against little or no opposition. However they were then forever locked into the senior grade and could no longer row "Maiden or Junior"! The big trophy in the centre rear with the seven names is most certainly not a fours trophy but this four could have been part of an eight who won it. Lovely old shot and great memories.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called From The Buffet, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

There you are, Glen, they were at it even at the beginning of last century.

Lovely presentations of food!

This is amazing! Plovers Eggs and Chicken in Aspic!!!!
